Re: [Cin] Shortcuts

2020-03-07 Thread Andrew Randrianasulu
Just random note on shortcuts:

I initially thought ctrl-alt-a was not working, but then I discovered
it was already taken by KDE - so I deleted it as  global/DE level
shortcut - and now everything works ...

This is a very much requested feature and a very, very difficult thing to
do.  BUT there is still some hope that it will get done in the far future.
I say there is hope because "scaling" got done and that was hard and a long
time request.  By comparison upgrading Masks was trivial and it took 4
weeks to get it all done. The reason for the difficulty is the original
design of Cinelerra written back in the olden days with slower computers
with less memory.  I think it would be do-able if the current QT
cross-platform framework was used instead but that is another difficult
thing to switch to.  Most users would rather the Videoscope and color
management were improved instead.

It has been proposed to alternatively allow for 1 different shortcut setup
as established by users so at least you could choose one or the other.
However, that would be a nightmare to get 2 or more people to agree on the
alternative setup.  Anyway, it would probably be better to make it flexible
for any shortcut.

I will see about changing this as you suggested.  It would be better.

Re: [Cin] shortcut for going trough keyframes

2020-03-07 Thread Phyllis Smith
Hi, Igor,

I "almost" agree with you but then I started using it and decided that
maybe most people would want them separated because with some plugins you
can have many, many keyframes and then it takes forever to get to an auto
marker.  We added Alt-a and Ctrl-Alt-a for Next auto and Previous
keyframe.  I guess the auto markers are really keyframes and are called
that in many places.

Re: [Cin] Shortcuts

2020-03-07 Thread daniel-cinelerra-gg
How hard would it be to create a menu for user-editable shortcuts?
Ardour/mixbus has something like this, and I find it really, really
convenient.  Would it be possible to adapt their code, or would it require
huge rewrites?

[Cin] Shortcuts

2020-03-07 Thread Igor BEGHETTO

Hi!

*IMPORTANT: the shortcut for “Delete last track” has been changed* 
from the lower case letter “d”
to Ctrl-Shift-D. Having just “d” was somewhat dangerous per Dan 
(Quinton?) because off screen.
A “format” option button for ffmpeg in the Render menu shows up when 
you click on the Video
wrench icon. This provides a few more tuning operators for the render 
for choices like mp4.
I think that the shorcuts are useful for the most/frequently used 
operation/action. Cinelerra have some shortcuts where, I think, you can 
do without them: for example in File Menu there are "BD Render..." 
(Ctrl+D) and "DVD Render" (Alt+D).
I think it would be better to assign Ctrl+D shortcut for "Delete last 
track" instead of Ctrl+Shif+D.
So, more intuitive, you have Shift+D to "Delete First track", and Ctrl+D 
to "Delete Last track": Shift is the key up (then first), and Ctrl is 
the key down (then last) in the keyboard.



About "shortcut for going trough *Autos* keyframes" thread.
We are going to "attempt" to add code to use a shortcut of Alt-a for 
next fader/speed/autos and Ctrl-a for previous auto. This should come 
in handy.
I think, if possible, to use the same shortcuts of the Plugin's 
keyframes because they are always keyframes, for me.


Thanks

IgorBeg

Hi!
I think, if possible, to use the same shortcuts of the Plugin's 
keyframes because they are always keyframes, for me.


Thanks

I also noticed when I set fader keyframe I can't return to the
same position again.

 Here is how to do this.  Mouse directly over the fader auto until the 
pointer cursor is stopped and stable as a pointer cursor (not a 
hairline).  Then simply press and release the middle mouse button 
without moving.  Now you will be exactly on the fader auto.



I sometimes want to walk through keyframes - in last situation I
used video and audio faders .

We are going to "attempt" to add code to use a shortcut of Alt-a for 
next fader/speed/autos and Ctrl-a for previous auto.  This should come 
in handy.
